NHL ROUNDUP Thursday’s games

Canadiens 4, Flyers 3, OT

MONTREAL — Tom Kostopoulos scored 48 seconds into overtime to give Montreal the victory over Philadelphia in the opening game of their second-round series. Kostopoulos put his own rebound past Martin Biron shortly after a faceoff in Philadelphia’s zone for his third goal of the playoffs. Alex Kovalev drew Montreal even with 28.6 seconds remaining in regulation, scoring a power-play goal directly off a faceoff with goalie Carey Price pulled for an extra attacker. Flyers center Jeff Carter’s stick broke as he lost a faceoff to Saku Koivu, and Kovalev jumped on the puck, beating Biron with a shot into the top right corner.

Red Wings 4, Avalanche 3

DETROIT — Johan Franzen scored two goals and had an assist to help Detroit build a three-goal cushion and hold on to beat Colorado in Game 1 of their second-round series.
